Sloooowwww.... is right. I ordered from OP because they are a 3hr drive from here. Other orders from them usually hit my door 2 days after I order. Not this time! Scope was in stock (confirmed with phone call). but took almost 3 weeks to ship and then it came out of Utah, instead of Illinois.
It does look good on the top of this gun. I'm kinda a stickler for things that work well AND look nice and this is the first time I've put a high magnification scope on top of an AR so I spent a lot of time looking and reading reviews. I chose the scope for a lot of reasons, but not the least of which is that is is slightly shorter for the magnification range, and the turrets are a bit more compact than most. The fact that it is consistently rated as an excellent value for the money was the first reason I chose it, but the other things played into it as well.
I bought matching LaRue QD mounts and the plan is to mount the Vortex on the other one so I can quickly swap them to compare. One of them will stay on this Grendel, the other will probably reside on my Savage 110 22-250.
